Abstract

The system for delivering diluted chemicals comprises multiple embodiments of reservoirs (49, 119, 155, 203, 219, 309, 599) that are fed by pressure and gravity. The reservoir is provided for supporting and transporting the partitioned containment space. In some cases, the space is provided separately or integrally. Then, the concentrate is supplied to the reservoirs (49, 119, 155, 203, 219, 309, 599). Both structures include a container for storing concentrated chemicals. And it measures so as not to generate chemical substances and time that are wasted. Then, the contact between the worker and the concentrated chemical substance or nutrient is minimized. Feed means by a pump assembly is preferred. The shut-off operation of the pump assembly can be applied to a separate structure or an integrated structure. The concentrate container system allows the user to reuse the container and further eliminates the need to handle the concentrate directly.

Description

  The present invention relates to a chemical applicator. More particularly, the present invention relates to an applicator that is operated under pressure and airtightness from the surroundings. The applicator is used for transporting plant nutrients and treatment agents. This is commercially available as it can be transported in a more concentrated form than necessary when applied in a diluted form.

  In the field of plant management, workers are forced to use a variety of chemicals on plants throughout the day. In worse situations, workers are supplied with the required concentrated forms of chemicals and nutrients, and weigh the appropriate amount of the concentrated nutrients into a container and dilute liquid, generally for dilution. Need to add water and finally prepare the necessary concentration of nutrients. The concentrate supply container is then closed and cleared.

  In terms of time required, workers spend a great deal of time injecting, surveying, or dispensing concentrated chemicals, as well as removing, transporting, and replacing concentrated chemical containers. Cost. Furthermore, the process is not only time consuming from a time point of view, it is also unclean for the workers and will produce a great deal of effluent over time. Further, when the concentrated solution is located in an artificially congested zone, more problems occur. There are a number of disadvantages when the concentrate is left in the workplace, hose bib or practical sink. In effect, the user needs to return to the location where the concentrate is left, and if the extra time is not spent, the location where the concentrate is left will be contaminated. Second, if a third party comes into contact with the container and spillage, a liability issue arises for chemicals being left in another additional location.

  The effluent, i.e. wasted concentrate, has a further adverse effect. Waste generated during the cleaning of paper towels or chips promotes earlier contamination and, most importantly, increases the opportunity for workers to come into contact with concentrated forms of chemicals and nutrients. Many chemicals and nutrients are harmful to workers, especially if the chemicals and nutrients are concentrated. Any spillage that directly touches the worker's skin is a very dangerous problem, the risk of which depends on the type and concentration of chemicals on the skin. Transportation is also a problem. Workers have one or two containers of concentrated chemicals or nutrients, and when most of the chemicals or nutrients are used throughout the day, the main applicator and concentrate container Additional worker attention, time and danger arise when they need to be operated separately. Also, when the worker's attention is directed to the other side or when the worker's attention is distracted, the possibility of danger increases. In particular, there is a higher risk of danger around plants that would harm nearby workers.

  What is needed is a system to relieve workers' concerns. The concerns are about handling and spills with the most frequently used concentrated chemicals and nutrients. The required system is a system for easily adjusting and replenishing concentrated chemicals to eliminate the adverse effects of worker handling and associated spills. The ultimate goal of the system is to reduce the time required for surveying, mixing and dilution and to improve worker safety. At the same time, by making it easier to handle, it removes the obstacles for people who grow plants every day. The system can also be easily mixed and time consuming to prevent accidental spills of concentrated chemicals and nutrients.

  The system of the present invention includes providing a support for the receiving space. The containment space resides on a gravity feed sprinkler or pressure applicator and provides a measurement method for storage and dispensing of concentrated chemical containers. At the same time, the system reduces waste and chemical adjustment times, minimizes contact between workers and concentrated chemicals or nutrients, facilitates daily plant growth, and is easy To. This can be done by increasing the regularity with which the plants are grown and watered, thereby reducing the disadvantages and annoyances associated with plant growth. Such a mechanism is beneficial to both commercial workers or household growers or to hobby growers. Furthermore, the present invention can reduce the danger when bringing concentrated chemicals to places that require careful handling. Examples of places that require careful handling include, for example, places where it is desired that the release of concentrated chemicals be minimized, i.e. hotel lobbies, restaurants, public courtyards, or the like An area is mentioned. For commercial workers, the present invention reduces their or their responsibilities as workers work. This can be accomplished by the present invention keeping chemicals away from children or reducing or eliminating additional mixing sites for concentrated chemicals.

  In normal use, a concentrated chemical or nutrient container is provided near the periphery of the entrance of the device. The device is generally a watering device or an applicator. From the initial empty state, the dispenser at the top of the concentrated chemical or nutrient container applicator is activated. A predetermined amount or a multiple of concentrated chemicals or nutrients are metered into the opening of the device. Next, water is generally added to the opening under fluid pressure. The chemicals or nutrients supplied in a fixed amount are mixed by vigorously introducing water or other liquid mixture under gravity.

  It has a structure that prevents concentrated chemicals or nutrients from being added excessively. The structure is included on a common device for sealing a metered concentration chemical or nutrient. Alternatively, the sealing member is located directly on the concentrated chemical or nutrient container or on a structure connected to the main applicator housing. The main applicator housing supports a concentrated chemical or nutrient container. In a variation, the quick concentrate reservoir is coupled to the catch bib so that all chemicals are added directly to the reservoir or collected in the bib for waste and then enter the main reservoir. To.

  The method of integrating the concentrated chemical or nutrient container with the main applicator is operated depending on the shape to achieve important objectives. The purpose includes enabling or facilitating the use of generally compatible chemicals by integrating the container size within the space provided. For example, chemicals that cannot be used together are placed in containers that do not physically fit into the support space.

  The container support and the holding space are configured to ensure an existing or possibly existing shape and design. In some cases, the size of the container accommodated is 7.5 inches high, 8.5 inches to 10.5 inches. The container to be accommodated may be configured with a right angle with circular, cylindrical or curved edges. Typical larger width dimensions are 3.5 inches, 4 inches, 4.5 inches or 5.0 inches. Also, the general smaller width dimension is 1.5 inches, 2.0 inches to 2.5 inches. The volume of the liquid container is from 8 ounces to 16 ounces and even approximately 40 ounces.

  It is also anticipated that the applicator device will have a support space. Said support space is in particular combined with a concentrated chemical or nutrient container. Also, the overall volume of the applicator structure is matched to the concentrated chemical or nutrient container's ability to supply the concentrated chemical or nutrient. This develops the additional ability of the concentrate container and applicator to harmonize. In some cases, the containment space is essentially maximally expanded, allowing an expanded concentrate container to be provided to the applicator. This at the same time can increase the use of the applicator. The applicator is established around a single, or two or three concentrate containers.

The structure, structure, and operation of the present invention will be more optimally shown in the following detailed description together with the accompanying drawings.
The description and operation of the present invention will first be best described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a top view of the gravity type applicator 11. The gravity type applicator 11 has a housing 13, and the housing 13 has an opening 15. The opening is shown larger than usual for emphasizing it and shows a general passage by the first container 17 in the first container receiving space 19. Moreover, in order to improve the stability of the 1st container 17 in the container storage space 19, another structure is provided. However, no further structure is required where the first container 17 is largely enclosed and supported. The first container 17 is generally filled with plant nutrients or chemicals, which can be pesticides, herbicides, nitrogen feeds, or generally in a liquid state. Contains concentrated chemicals. When looking down at the container 17 from the top, the container 17 is trapezoidal, or has a triangular shape with the top part cut by a plane, and a pump with an extension conduit 23. Applicator assembly 21 is included. The extended water guide pipe 23 preferably extends to the center of the opening. This establishes and facilitates gravity precipitation of the liquid added into the main reservoir of the gravity applicator 11 where it is mixed from the container 17. An optional “C” shaped locking clip 24 is further provided to stop the extension conduit 23 from being positioned at the top to prevent the concentrate from being added. The clip 24 is loosely attached to the pump applicator assembly 21. The central opening 15 may be smaller than usual if the extension conduit 23 extends to the opening enough to ensure that the desired amount of concentrate is gravity precipitated.

  In addition, preferably, the pump applicator assembly 21 has a known or predetermined metering capability, generally depending on the number of times the pump shaft has been pushed vertically down completely. It is possible to accurately dispense nutrients or other chemicals through the central opening 13. This feature allows the user to estimate the required volume for successful metering and reduces the reservoir replenishment phase by two times. The reservoir replenishment step is that of operating the pump applicator assembly 21 after which solvent, carrier or other eluate, typically water, is introduced into the reservoir. The reservoir is connected to the central opening 15.

  The first container accommodation space 19 determines the direction of the first container 17, and the first container 17 is inserted in one direction. The one direction means that the pump applicator assembly 21 is closest to the central opening 15. In addition to this physical positioning, the extension conduit 23 needs to extend to the central opening 15. If the extension conduit 23 is positioned by the first container 17 (only when the extension conduit 23 is above the opening, the extension conduit 23 can only sink down) , Or by positioning following the pump assembly 21 and from the first container 17 to the extension conduit 23, the extension conduit 23 may be positioned in the first container 17. When the positional relationship with the container 17 is determined), a mechanism is employed. The mechanism is to prevent pump operation when the extended water guide pipe 23 is present at a location different from that on the central opening 15. Further, such a mechanism helps prevent spillage and prevent unwanted or inadvertent operation of the pump mechanism. On the other hand, while the liquid from the first container 17 is put into the central opening 15 without being supplied in a fixed amount, the rotation of the extension conduit 23 provides a lock release mechanism.

  A second container 25 present in the second container receiving space 27 is also shown. Both the second container 25 and the second container housing space 27 have a round shape or a cylindrical shape. The shape is probably not positionable through the second container receiving space 27 and the second container 25. However, although not shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity, the positioning is performed through a structure extending from the applicator 11 housing 13.

  The other structure shown in FIG. 1 includes a flow tube 31 and an inclined support portion 33. The inclined support portion 33 is located between the flow tube 31 and the main housing 13. At the tip of the flow tube 31, the strainer and the fluid spreader 35 have a rotating shaft and are mounted near the opening end 37. The strainer and fluid spreader 35 allows fluid dispensing and limits its flow rate for convenience. As the rotating shaft mounting member, the fluid spreader 35 is selectively used, and can be replaced with another fluid spreader 35. The fluid spreader 35 has large and small hole regions. The top view of FIG. 1 omits the handle structure that extends to the upper part of the applicator 11 so that the respective structures can be clearly seen.

  FIG. 2 is a side view of the applicator 11 and shows an integrated handle 41. The handle 41 extends upward from the rear side surface 43 of the gravity type applicator 11, passes through the central opening 15, further toward the upper part of the gravity type applicator 11, and extends to the vicinity of the front side surface 45. As FIG. 2 shows, the view of the first container 17 is shown most prominently. The first container accommodation space 19 is represented as a release part and a pocket. The release portion and the pocket are spaces in which the first container is taken out or replaced, and exist in the reservoir 49. The reservoir 49 may contain a water level 51. The degree to which the first container receiving space 19 can enter the region of the reservoir 49 depends on the required size, shape, and capacity of the reservoir 49. Said capability is that one or more first and second containers 17 and 25 are extended by allowing them to enter the space of the reservoir 49 or by being laterally placed outside the applicator 11.

  FIG. 2 shows a pocket area 53 into which an information placard can be inserted. The information placard includes information on one or more concentrated chemicals or nutrients in the first container 17 and the second container 25, and the gravity in the expected usage of the gravity applicator 11 Information related to the mold applicator 11 is also included. The physical structure of the pocket area 53 can include an attachable pocket on a planar surface or where the area to which the label is attached is recessed.

  FIG. 2 also shows the movement of the fluid spreader 35 and the rotary shaft connection 55 on the flow tube 31. As shown in FIG. 2, the fluid spreader 35 is rotated along the rotation axis to a storage position or a position covering the open end 37. The user can freely operate the position of the fluid spreader 35 and the use of the fluid spreader 35. This depends on the type of plant to be applied, i.e. whether it needs to be applied in large quantities to the root of the plant or whether it should be sprayed like a watering can on the top.

  FIG. 3 is an enlargement of the part enclosed by line 3 in FIG. 2, showing further details of the shape and further details of its use. The fluid spreader 35, when viewed from the side, has a knob 57 and a set of spaced apart central hooks. The central hook 59 engages with the inner edge of the flow tube 31. FIG. 4 is a diagram selected by line 4-4 in FIG. 3, showing the top of the fluid spreader 35 with the fluid spreader 35 closed. As shown in FIG. 4, the fluid spreader 35 has an array of holes 59 and allows liquid to be dispersed from the flow tube 31. Further, FIG. 4 shows a pair of holder structures 61. The holder structure 61 is used so as to engage with the knob 57 when the fluid spreader 35 is fixed at the upper position so as not to get in the way.

  FIG. 5 is a top view of the pressurizable applicator 101. The pressurizable applicator 101 characteristically has a relatively thick pressurizable body. The pressurizable body has a central opening 103, which is threaded to facilitate attachment with a pump unit (not shown). The curved opening 105 includes an upper rail 107 and supports a number of individual concentrated chemical or nutrient containers. The individual concentrated chemical or nutrient container is, for example, the first concentrated liquid container 111 or the second concentrated liquid container 113. Each of the first and second concentrate containers 111 and 113 has a pump assembly 115, and the pump assembly 115 has an extended water conduit 117. The tip of the extension conduit extends to the opening 103 and allows the concentrate from the containers 111 and 113 to be added directly into the opening 103 which is the inlet portion of the reservoir 119. The upper part of the pressurizable applicator 101 has a draining collar 121 and a spout 123 to help transfer the diluted solution. The diluted solution is removed when the pressurizable applicator 101 is cleaned.

  A hose 125 is preferably fixed to the pressurizable applicator 101. The hose 125 is generally used for regular transportation to and from the reservoir that follows the opening 103. In many pressurized atomizers, the entire reservoir is pressurized, and at the same time, the flow rate is controlled with a cane-like one mounted on the tip of the hose. And the pressurizable applicator 101 of this invention is represented by the shape of this style. A pressure release valve 127 is provided for the release of pressure and allows a pump unit (not shown) to be removed from the pressurizable applicator 101 without draining liquid from the reservoir 19.

  FIG. 6 is a top view of an integrated pressurizable applicator 151 showing that the pressurizable applicator 151 has a characteristically thicker pressurizable body. The pressurizable body has a central opening 153 that leads to a reservoir 155. The central opening 153 is threaded to facilitate attachment with a pump unit (not shown). The curved area 157 determines the general area of the liquid concentrate reservoir. The general area of the liquid concentrate reservoir is established in the body of the integrated pressurizable applicator 151. The block rail 161 is arranged in cooperation with the pump assembly 163. The pump assembly 163 has a pump depressing handle 165 and an extended water conduit 167. The extension conduit 167 has a top tip 169 that is positioned on the reservoir 155. In the upper position, the extension conduit 167 is above the height of the block rail 161 when the pump push down handle 165 is not moved in the upper position. If the extension conduit 167 does not have the top end 169 positioned on the drain collar 171 near the reservoir 155 or spout 173 and is oriented in the other direction, the pump assembly 163 is not moved. The extended conduit 167 is generally 360 ° rotatable as is the case with most pump assemblies, including the pump assembly 163. A short ring chain 177 is also shown in FIG. 6 and is connected to the block rail 161 and funnel 179. A region 157 for containing the concentrate is integrated with the applicator 151. Funnel 179 helps to reduce spillage of material. The structure already shown in FIG. 5 is also shown in FIG. That is, the hose 125 and the release valve 127 are shown.

  FIG. 7 is a side view of an integrated pressurizable applicator 151 that has a pump unit 181 that has a protruding handle 183. It shows that. Characteristically, the handle 183 is fixed with respect to the pump unit 181, and the handle 183 can be utilized to carry the entire integral pressurizable applicator unit 151. It can clearly be seen that the block rail 161 is on the extension of the drain collar 171.

  The region shown as curve 157 in FIG. 6 is in fact shown in FIG. 7 as a reservoir region 157 that is internally distinguished. Dashed barrier line 185 represents the boundary of the inner concentrate reservoir, generally represented by region 157. The boundary 185 provides a physical distinction from the internal distinct area for containing concentrated chemicals or nutrients. The concentrated chemical or nutrient is added through an opening above where the pump assembly 163 is established. The shape of the actual area of the concentrate volume depends on the need and shape of the internal pressurizable reservoir 155. As shown in FIG. 7, when the extension conduit 167 is swung to the right and exceeds the block rail 161, the extension conduit is not pushed down. The funnel 179 is mounted so that it is not lost and is positioned to reach the opening on the underside of the pump assembly 163. Pump assembly 163 is removed to create an opening leading into region 157 occupied by the concentrate reservoir. A pocket area 191 is also shown in FIG. 7, which serves to attach positioning instructions or labels to the applicator 151. Block rail 161 is provided from pump assembly 163 as long as the cap portion of pump assembly 163 can be positioned depending on the direction of central opening 153.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an integrated pressurizable applicator 201, showing that the integrated pressurizable applicator 201 has an integrated reservoir 203. The integrated reservoir 203 is located high above the upper part of the integrated pressurizable applicator 201 or is an extension of the shoulder 205 of the integrated pressurizable applicator 201. The height of the integral reservoir 203 provides a gravity safety system instead of the pump unlock mechanism shown in FIG. Rather than defeating the function of the pump unit 211, the fringing gravity bib 213 directly surrounds the cap 215. That is, the concentrated solution is added to the reservoir 219 regardless of the position of the water conduit 217. When the conduit 217 is located directly on the reservoir 219, the concentrate is poured directly into the reservoir 219. Even if the conduit 217 is elsewhere, all of the concentrate is poured onto the gravitational bib 213 that is edged and from there into the reservoir 219. In the cleaning step, it will be filled with a cleaning agent in order to clean the fringing gravity bib 213. Therefore, any excess concentrate present on the fringing gravity bib 213 will also enter the reservoir 219.

  As described above, the hose 125 is shown, and the screw thread 221 is shown in the opening 223 that is shown again with the drainage collar 225. Furthermore, how to attach the integrated reservoir 203 attached to the applicator 201 of the main body 227 is appropriately set according to necessity and convenience. Alternatively, the gravity screwed cock 213 and drainage collar 225 matched to the body shape can be formed as a detachable unit so as to be detachable around the neck 229 of the applicator 201. The applicator preferably has a rapid change complete applicator set.

  Referring to FIG. 10, a perspective view from the rear left side of a second embodiment of a gravity type applicator 301 having an integrated concentrate container 303 is shown. As shown in FIG. 10, the integrated concentrate container 303 has a more gently curved outer surface and curved rear and bottom side faces that fit into the accommodation space. Since it is attached and contained using an object, what is shown in FIG. 10 is not a complete type.

  In one aspect of the present invention, various types of integrated concentrate containers 303 having different colors can be provided, where a wide variety of applicators according to the present invention are particularly utilized. This allows a user, especially someone who is not a person skilled in the art, to easily maintain the proper use of the integrated concentrate container 303. The integrated concentrate container 303 is formed from a transparent or spectroscopic plastic that transfers sufficient light to indicate the liquid level inside. A tag is used, in particular mounted on the neck of the integrated concentrate container 303. This tag indicates a concentration, warning or special instruction including instructions for dispersing the concentration.

  Most of the gravity applicator 301 has an integral concentrate container 303 in which a reservoir is formed for filling a phytonutrient solution that typically contains water and contains mainly water. The gravity applicator 301 is largely formed as a hollow portion with a large top opening 305 that can be introduced into an upper reservoir portion 307 disposed above the extended base reservoir portion 309. The extended base reservoir portion 309 can reduce the chance of spilling even when the gravitational applicator 301 is inadvertently flipped or struck from a location near the upper portion of the structure. In addition, it provides a wider and longer base for stabilizing the gravity applicator 301. The graded zone 311 between the upper reservoir portion 307 and the extended base reservoir portion 309 is an inclined shelf extending from the rear front of the gravity applicator 301. The shelves in the divided zone 311 are set to transition with a steeper slope about the middle position of the application 301. About the rear position, the divided zone 311 forms about the most horizontal shelf position, and joins to the heel portion 313 in the vicinity of the joint portion of the curved grip portion 315. This area allows the plant to be fed while the gravitational applicator 301 is lifted above the user's head by the lifting handle. Also, the user holds the rear heel portion 313 with the user's hand by positioning the user's finger on the side of the curved gripping portion 315 in the stepwise division zone 311.

  Base reservoir portion 309 is gently curved forward and upward of gravity applicator 301 to provide some forward loading when applicator 301 is tilted forward. This mechanism is coupled to a curved gripping portion 315 extending from the heel portion 313, traverses the top of the large top opening 305, and further forms the base of the conduit section 317 at the front end of the integrated split zone 311. It is connected to the front of the part. The region immediately below the front end of the curved gripping portion 315 is an upper inclined portion of the base reservoir portion 309 that extends below the front portion of the dividing zone 311 that is disposed more flat and upward. This extends both for the forward movement of the center of gravity during tilting and for large quantities of liquid to flow out of the large opening 305 when the applicator 301 tilts. The extension of the base reservoir portion 309 will be affected. This eliminates the need for the user to worry about spilling even if the applicator 301 is tilted completely or significantly.

  The conduit portion 317 extends to the extension coupling portion 319, and extends to the cylindrical portion 323 that assists in an incidental fitting with the water bottle assembly 325. The water faucet assembly 325 includes a cylindrical body 327 that assists in a pair of hinge couplings 329 oriented in opposite directions as a pair of devices typically disposed on opposite sides. The pair of hinges 331 directed in opposite directions are integrated with a watering hole cover 333 having a porous member that curves outward. This allows the watering mouth cover 333 to be folded into an open position that is a “butterfly style”. This open state position is a state in which the user desires to stop the outflow when the watering function is disabled and in the open state.

  The curved grip 315 is preferably hollow at the rear of the applicator 301 to provide additional storage capacity, as is the front of the applicator 301 adjacent to the split zone 311. Since the front of the applicator 301 adjacent to the divided zone 311 also functions as a source of displacement air, all of the adjusted air is pulled through the water bottle cover 333 when the applicator 301 is upright. There is no need to return.

  Adjacent to the large top opening 305, a vertical mechanism is shown as a conduit guide 339. This configuration is preferably fixedly mounted in the vicinity of and around the edge 341 of the large top opening 305. The material of the applicator 301 or the material itself at the location that provides the hooking around the edge 341 can be fastened with rivets 343.

  The conduit guide shown allows the material to flow over the bottom 345 of the pump, not shown as complete in FIG. 10, and the surface 347 of the fitting 349 via extending the rivet 343. Designed to be

  A pair of long vertical protrusions 351 and 353 are arranged on one side and are connected to one side of the pump and the entire position of the pump not shown in FIG. Slightly misaligned. The portion of the water conduit 357 is hidden behind the convex portion 351. The manual pump 355 is screwed onto the top of the integrated concentrate container 303.

  The integrated concentrate container 303 is disposed within the storage space, which will be described in detail later. Are simultaneously adapted to the position of

  Once arranged, the position between the integrated concentrate container 303 and the convex portions 351, 353 cannot be freely changed to the other by the water conduit 357 or the manual pump 355. The manual pump 355 can be moved upward and downward by pressing the top of the manual pump 355 in a user-intentional manner. However, the manual pump 355 and the water conduit 357 are protected against any downward movement by the protection by the convex portions 351 and 353.

  The structures of the manual pump 355 and the water conduit 357 are springs loaded upward, and these structures are pushed back to the upper position as shown in FIG. In the absence of a spring load, manual pump 355 and conduit 357 will remain in the lower position to provide further protection against downward movement. However, most commercially available pump assemblies have springs that are loaded to assume a direction in which the pump is ready upward. For this reason, when the manual pump 355 and the water conduit 357 are located above, the convex portions 351 and 353 have a special value that provides a compensation range for unintended behavior.

  Further, the protrusions 351, 353 provide a “fixed” guide that maintains the conduit 357 directly in line and towards the large top opening 305.

  Reasonable non-destructive removal of the water conduit 357 from between the convex portions 351, 353 is effectively achieved by moving the integrated concentrate container 303 from the applicator 301. Conversely, as shown in FIG. 10, the integrated concentrate container is loaded in different directions with a water conduit 357 that is not between the convex portions 351, 353. For this reason, a reasonable care of loading the integrated concentrate container 303 into the applicator 301 is executed. The overhang entrance to the space between the convex portions 351 and 353 can guide the water guide pipe 357 when the integrated concentrated liquid is loaded into the applicator 301.

  From a measurement point of view, using the protection system provided by the protrusions 351, 353 facilitates the use of the manual pump 355 with different measurement possibilities while preventing unintended behavior. For a certain neck size or plunger area measurement, the limit measurement is typically set by limiting the vertical height that the manual pump 355 travels. A small constant flow rate is achieved by providing a manual pump 355 that is pressed by a quarter inch from the top to the bottom of the travel path. In this case, the manual pump exists only in the lower region between the convex portions 351 and 353. Since the convex portions 351 and 355 have protruding openings, high transparency of the water conduit 357 above the convex portions 351 and 353 is not required. A manual pump similar to the manual pump 355 having any operated height is used in combination with the projections 351, 353.

  The base collar 359 of the manual pump 355 is shown as a system that provides significant transparency for the base collar 359 of a wide variety of fittings or manual pumps 355, showing the superiority of the two protrusions 351,353. . Furthermore, with respect to the fixing force, not only the curved gripping part 315 is attached adjacent to the two divided zones 311 but also the attachment arm 361 at the more forward end of the applicator 301 further attaches the applicator 301 to the rear. It is attached by an arm 363. The attachment arms 361 and 363 attach the curved grip portion 315 to the upper surface side of the upper reservoir portion 307. Preferably, regardless of what is required, the presence and hollow nature of the curved gripping portion 315 and the passage between this gripping portion and the upper reservoir is extended at two points attached adjacent to the split zone 311. Similar to the base reservoir portion 309. This allows the curved gripper 315 to retain additional water at a higher liquid level than the upper reservoir portion 307 and the extended base reservoir portion 309 when the applicator 301 is tilted. Will be able to. Basically, the extending water in the extended housing will be combined with stability. In addition, the displacement air can also flow immediately through the curved grip 315, particularly from the junction with the upper reservoir portion 307.

  Referring to FIG. 11, a perspective view of the other side of the applicator 301 preferably shows the surface 347 of the conduit guide 339. A curved ramp 371 can be seen above the bottom 345. The arrangement shown in FIG. 11 is combined with the arrangement shown in FIG. 10 to help understanding the flow path of the concentrate after leaving the end of the water conduit 357. The concentrate flows down the ramp 371 to flow over the surface 347 and flows into the upper reservoir portion 307 through the large top opening 305. The general configuration of the fitting 349 includes itself and is a structure that prevents any dispersed concentrate from flowing into the space between the fitting 349 and the upper surface 373 of the upper reservoir portion 307. Is shown. Furthermore, the ramp 371 will be continuously washed with all types of fresh concentrate and is generally operated to maintain cleanliness. In order to keep the ramp 371 clean by the washing water, the filling of the applicator 303 leads to the lower side of the ramp 371.

  A level mark for measuring the total amount exists, and includes a volume mark 375 for displaying the 2 gallon level and a volume mark 377 for displaying the 1 gallon level. In addition, volume marks are optionally provided in the upper reservoir portion 307 and the further lower base reservoir portion 309. However, given the precise metering capability of the manual pump 355 from the concentrate container 303 and a more accurate level measurement of the concentrate, the user can accurately do without the small volume measuring tool housed in the applicator 303. The concentrated liquid can be controlled.

  Referring to FIG. 12, an enlarged view of an integrated concentrate container 303 moved from the gravity applicator 301 is shown. The integrated concentrate container 303 is shown having a front surface 381 that separates from the outer surface of the upper reservoir portion 307. The upper surface 383 shows that the integrated concentrate container 303 has a cross-sectional shape “D” with a curved surface 385 extending from the rear left to the right side in a gentle and continuous curve. Yes.

  This curved rear portion having a cross-sectional shape allows the integral concentrate container to fit into a compartment 391 having a floor surface 393, a curved transition surface 395, and a curved rear surface 397 leading in a generally vertical direction. . At the top of the compartment 391, a portion 399 of the upper surface 373 has a thin “U” shape so as to mate with a pair of surfaces located below the base collar 359.

  The series of relationships is utilized to reliably carry the integrated concentrate container 303 into the compartment 391. These include, for example, by forming a floor surface 393 slightly below the edge 401 or by adjusting the portion 399. As a result, it functions in conjunction with the floor surface 393 to “trap” the container 303, for example, by making full use of a downward deflecting function.

  Another function is also shown in FIG. The member 405 can be seen in the integrated concentrate container 303 which is a recess or projection. Member 405 is positioned to be complementary and in contact with member 407 within curved back surface 397 that is substantially vertical. The member 407 is opposed to the concave or convex portion, and is fitted to and maintained by the member 405. A mating relationship can be a snap, a collision member, a latch, a spring, or the like, or a further relationship.

  It can be seen that a curved edge 401 extends along the extension adjacent to the floor 393 and along the upper sides on both sides adjacent to the curved rear surface 397 substantially perpendicular. The curvature of the edge can be sharp or gradual in order to improve the operability by adjusting the ease with which the user can grip the integrated concentrate container 303. The D-shaped curved surface 385 has a short radius curve at the rearmost to allow the integrated concentrate container 303 to be quickly and easily loaded into the compartment 391. The integrated concentrate container 303 is then moved according to its orientation by first moving the bottom angle or by first positioning the base collar 359 with respect to the portion 399. It can be placed by pushing the bottom into place. With this configuration, the integrated concentrate container 303 is placed in the vertical direction. Removal of the integrated concentrate container 303 is accomplished by pulling the base collar 359 outward while grasping.

  A volumetric index 411 is displayed on the front surface 381 of the integrated concentrate container 303. Near the bottom of the integrated concentrating container 303, the front surface 381 has an outer curve 413 followed by a lower curve 415 and a vertical portion 417 that is guided and positioned forward. However, the integrated concentrate container 303 according to the present invention is not limited to the exact shape shown in FIG. The integrated concentrate container 303 has a manual auxiliary device according to the scene.

  Referring to FIG. 13, a side view of the integrated concentrate container 303 is shown. In the side view, manual pump 355 and base collar 359 are not shown to show the neck 421 disposed above with screws 423.

  Referring to FIG. 14, a plan view of the integrated concentrate container 303 is shown. In the plan view, a neck portion 421 disposed upward as having an opening 425 is shown. The curved surface 385 is seen as a curve of about 180 degrees near the neck portion 421 disposed above. A bending level of about 180 degrees to the flat portion 427 and the flat portion 429 is confirmed for the first time in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 15, a further embodiment of a pressurizable applicator is shown as an integrated pressurizable applicator 501. The applicator 501 comprises a main body 503 having an integrated internal storage organ (not shown in FIG. 15) and a concentrate container system 505. The concentrate container system 505 includes a concentrate container 507, a neck unit 509 and a pump unit 511. The pump unit 511 includes a collar 513, a pump head 515, and a water conduit 517.

  Disposed above the collar 513 and the main body 503 is a removable basin 521. The basin portion 521 prevents the downward movement on the pump head 515 by the action of the water conduit 517 provided in the basin portion 521. The pump head 515 can be freely lowered only when the water conduit 517 goes to the inlet, that is, the place having the pressurizing unit 523 of FIG. Even when the conduit 517 does not directly enter the integral internal reservoir (not shown in FIG. 15) through the opening, the dispersed concentrate enters such an opening and is supported by the basin 521. Is done. The upper edge 525 of the basin 521 tracks the conduit 517 in a radial and block fashion. At this time, not only the peripheral area inside the basin section 521 having the pressurizing unit 523 shown in FIG.

  The radius of the upper edge 525 is adjusted so as to mesh with the water conduit 515 between the plunger 527 and the water conduit tip 529. The upper edge 525 should have a radially expanded structure so that it can catch drops from the conduit 517, ie, drops towards the central opening (not shown in FIG. 15). In this case, the height of the upper edge 525 should be designed to be high so that only the drop from the pump head 515 can enter. In the comparative example, the height of the pump head 515 is designed to be lower than the top edge 525 to further prevent inappropriate dispersion of the concentrate. The basin 525 of the basin portion 521 has a radius extending to the periphery of the pressurizing unit 523 of the pump handle 523 as seen in FIG.

  The hose connector 531 is seen extending to one side of the main body 503. The basin portion 521 also has a lower collar 533. The lower collar 533 forms the basin portion 521 partially or entirely. A safety release valve 535 can be seen in the body 503.

  It is shown that the concentrate bottle 507 is supported by a shelf-like extending portion 541 that extends from the lower region of the main body portion 503. The structure shown has the potential to help hold the concentrate bottle 507 in place. Also shown is a recess 543 that defines a leg or stable ridge of the body 503.

Referring to FIG. 16, a partial exploded view of the integrated pressurizable applicator 501 is shown, with a portion of the concentrate container system 505 removed. The concentrate container 507 is generally a cylindrical container, and the cylindrical container has an upper opening 555 surrounded by a screw 557 on the recess 559.
A cylindrical concentrated liquid container 507 continues from the recess 559 and reaches a flat low part 563 via a curved transmission part 561. The collar 565 exists at the upper end portion of the land portion 559. The land portion 559 can be fitted with a sealing member (not shown) and is illustrated with a concentrate system.

  The sealing member is preferably a member that adheres to the upper ridge and that can be peeled off with a hole. As shown below, the integrated pressurizable applicator 501 utilizes a concentrate container system 505. Concentrate container system 505 minimizes the user touching the concentrate and minimizes the amount of spillage. From this configuration, perforation in the sheath seal can occur due to the central role of the concentrate container system 505 in general.

  The neck unit 509 has a set of internal screws just below it that mate with the screws 557 of the concentrate container 507. The neck unit 509 extends to a land portion 569 having a screw 557. The land portion 569 has an opening 573 at its upper end. The neck unit 509 acts on the concentrate container 507 as a connector. The neck unit 509 is different because it needs to adapt to different configurations of pump sets having different coupling functions. Alternatively, a single solid container is utilized.

  On the right side of the neck unit 509 and the concentrate container 507, there is a pump set 575. Pump set 575 includes a boss 577 above collar 513 and a main housing 579 below collar 513. Below the main housing 579 is a pick-up tube 581 having a lower end 583 that is sharpened to form a pointed tip. The fact that the plunger 527 extends to the boss 577 is also recognized.

  It can be seen that the concentrate container 507 fits into the curved space 585 formed by the outer portion of the body portion 503. The space 585 has a protrusion 587 that fits a recess (not shown) on the concentrate container 507. The curved space 585 leads to a shelf 589 that supports both the concentrate container 507 and the upward button ridge 591. This fits into a small depression (not shown) on the concentrate container 507. Each member including the protruding portion 587 and the upward button bulging portion 591 is inserted at a right angle into the main body of the concentrate container 507, thereby restricting the movement of the concentrate container 507 from the curved space 585.

  The concentrate container 507 is changed by bringing the concentrate container 507 to a height that is relatively lower than the height of the upward button bulge portion 591. Since the position of the joint point of the protrusion 587 becomes higher, it is possible to reduce the removal of the distortion. Removal is performed by bringing the pump set 575 to a lower position, so that the conduit 517 can clean the opening (not shown) in the basin 521. Alternatively, the collar can be removed from the screw 571 by turning the boss 577 to remove the pump set 575 from within the basin 521. After removal of the pump set 575, the empty concentrate container 501 with the neck unit 509 is removed from the body 503 by impacting either the lower or upper end of the concentrate container 507. .

  Referring to FIG. 17, a cross-sectional view of an integrated pressurizable applicator 501 is shown. As for the pressure unit 523, details of the shape of the gripping portion are shown only partially. Normally, the pressurizing unit 523 rotates the gripping part seen at the upper end of the pressurizing unit 523 from either the lock position or the position at the maximum angle that moves in one direction, thereby It is removed from the neck portion 597. Since the pressure is fed into the reservoir 599 in an unlocked (or unscrewed in the case of screwing) position, the gripper can usually be raised and lowered freely.

  As shown, the neck portion 597 forms a clasp for attaching the lower collar 533. The attachment is done by sealing, pinlock, adhesive, or other suitable technique. In these methods, the basin portion 521 can be removed. As shown by this configuration, the basin portion 521 is unlocked and supported by unlocking the pressure unit 523.

  On the right side of the lower collar 533, the basin 521 is seen so that the boss 577 of the pump set 575 has an opening 601 that will be directly extended. Depending on the size of the pump head 515, it is possible to bend the concentrate container 507 diagonally away from the main body 503 in which the basin 521 is arranged. Then, the plunger 527 can be allowed to pass through the opening 591 without disconnecting the pump set 575 from the concentrate container 507. The performance and desired properties for doing this depend not only on the overall size of the pump head 515, but also on the height and radius of the members around the opening 601. Further, members around the opening 601 are adjusted to fit at the upper end of the boss 577 or collar 513 to provide further support for the basin 521.

  Still referring to the figure, the concentrate container 507 is positioned by a convex portion 587 inserted into the recess 605. At the same time, an upward button bulge portion 591 bulges to a recessed portion 607 disposed at the central portion of the button of the concentrated liquid container 507 and the central portion of the substantially flat button 563.

  Referring to FIG. 17, a more complete exploded view of the concentrate container system 505 shows the flexible use of the concentrate container 507 with a wide mouth along the neck unit 509. As shown, the concentrated container 507 having a wide mouth has a hermetically sealed plastic or foil or other thin planar sealing member 621 that is formed around the land 559 having a zigzag shape around it. Mates with the upper edge 565. At the top of the foil member 621, a reinforcing ring 623 with a small hole 625 in the selectable central part can be seen. The reinforcing ring 623 is extremely useful for concentrating any drilling force from the pickup tube 583. Concentrating the punching force can prevent the foil member 621 from tearing in the lateral direction, and can prevent the foil member 621 from extending to the surrounding area. This is particularly important when a certain seal is desired around the pickup tube 583. The small hole 625 at the center of the reinforcing ring 623 includes (1) concentrating the drilling area, (2) concentrating the drilling force, (3) limiting tearing to a small area, and (4) pickup. It is possible to provide a seal around tube 583. The reinforcing ring 623 is formed of a flexible material to achieve this task.

  Above the neck unit 509, a small diameter sealing plastic or foil or a thin planar sealing member 631 can be seen. In places where a small area of material is provided and depends on the choice of material, a similar small reinforcing ring 623 is removed. The user acquires a bottle having a volume in which the concentrate container 507 and the neck unit 509 are combined, or the user is a single concentrate that is specifically sealed by the foil member 621 and the optional reinforcement member. A container 507 can be acquired.

  Where a liquid bottle is provided, it is desirable to be a single bottle with a small opening (573). In the case where powder or a dehydrated mixture is supplied, the concentrate container 507 may be provided alone. This is also applicable when water or other fluid is supplied to the insoluble powder. In both cases, the system provides maximum flexibility for the user, manufacturer and concentrate supplier.

  FIG. 19 shows a further embodiment of a gravity applicator 651. The applicator includes a more centrally and vertically oriented mechanism. The concentrate container 653 is separated from the gravity type applicator 651. Concentrate container 653 is tall in the vertical direction and has some additional storage volume, which has other dimensions.

  The floor surface 393 and the substantially vertical curved rear surface 397 shown in the gravity type applicator 301 are provided with a recess 655 in the horizontal direction with respect to the vertical axis. The recess 655 does not have to have a floor surface. The single protrusion 657 extends from a point on a substantially intermediate position of the horizontal recess 655. And the projection part 657 fits into the hole part 659 which appears in the rear part of the concentrate container 653 shown with the broken line. Apart from the support below the base collar, the joint of the hole 659 and the protrusion 657 is the only other support for the concentrate container 653. Concentrated liquid container 653 is positioned more rearward than the position of concentrated liquid container 303 of gravity type applicator 301. This allows the user to directly touch the bottom of the concentrate container 653 and provides the advantage of bringing the center of gravity closer to the center.

  The protrusion 657 is shown in a cylindrical shape, but is not limited to this. The projecting portion 657 and the hole portion 659 may be inclined upward to enable the concentrate container 653 to be better supported. Further, the protrusions 657 / holes 659 that support the system may be coupled to and supplemented by other structures.

  In addition, a piece of holding portion and a flow direction structure 661 may be provided. The one-piece holding unit and the flow direction structure 661 includes a curved portion 663 and a closed channel type guide structure unit 665. The guide structure 665 has a side opening 667. The closed channel guide structure 665 has a bottom opening (not shown), and preferably has a sleeve-like extension at the bottom opening. The extending portion extends through a corresponding opening formed in the upper surface 671. The guide structure portion 665 is installed on the upper surface 671. This allows the administered concentrate to fall directly into the upper reservoir 307, eliminating the need for useless surfaces. The surface is arranged slightly horizontally so as to come into contact with the concentrate and delay the inflow of the concentrate. The introduction of the water guide pipe 357 into the opening 667 is performed by a slight rotational movement, similar to that shown in the gravity type applicator 301. The flow direction structure 661 has a more protected structure that protects against unforeseen operation and prevents separation of the concentrate. Rivet 675 secures flow direction structure 661 to upper surface 671.

  FIG. 20 shows a more compact water spout assembly 681. The water spout assembly 681 includes a housing 683. In FIG. 20, the can assembly 681 has been removed and a cover 685 is shown. The cover 685 includes a pin-shaped protrusion 687 on the side. When the cover 685 is rotated within the housing 683 and put into the cover position, the series of holes formed in the cover 685 provide a rain-like flow. The wall thickness of the cylindrical portion 323 is preferably thin enough to ensure that the cover 685 rotates to open freely. It is preferable that the rotation stop notch is disposed on the front and rear sides adjacent to the housing 653 and is disposed in the vicinity of the pin-shaped protrusion 687. Thereby, the cover 685 can be kept in the open position.

  FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the gravity type applicator 701 viewed from the side. The applicator 701 further includes an additional mechanism. On the left, the gravitational applicator 701 is provided with an embedded watering can assembly 703. The water spout assembly 703 provides additional protection for the sprinkle cover 685. The piece of holding portion and the flow direction structure 705 includes a neck reinforcing portion. The neck reinforcement part partially surrounds the boss 707 and strengthens the fit between the base collar 359 and the concentrate container 711. The base end portion of the boss 707 has a wedge shape, and the gap between the base collar 359 and the upper portion of the concentrate container 711 is occupied by the wedge-shaped boss 707 and is engaged with the concentrate container 711. To improve.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the concentrate container 711 includes a pair of wedge-shaped protrusions 713 formed near the base. The wedge-shaped protrusion 713 meshes with the protrusion (not shown in FIG. 21) of the interference structure formed in the horizontal recess 655 extending in the vertical axis direction. The wedge-shaped protrusion 713 secures the concentrate container 711 and facilitates holding it in an appropriate position. As described above, the water conduit 357 of the manual pump 355 is guided by the side opening 667, and the concentrate container 711 is mounted on the one-piece holding unit and the flow direction structure 705. While various modifications are possible, a set of volume support marks 717 may be disposed on the side of the concentrate container 711.

  FIG. 22 shows a further modification of the holding piece and the flow direction structure 705. An integral combination of a piece of holding, edge and flow direction structure 721 is shown in an exploded view, which is disposed above the gravity applicator 701 in FIG. The combination of a piece of holding, edge and flow direction structure 721 allows the wide upper opening 305 to be used for additional stability when the wide upper opening 305 is not finished as desired. This is particularly advantageous when it is necessary to do so.

  A piece of holding, edge and flow direction structure 721 includes a flange 723 oriented downward. The flange engages with the opening 305. The flange serves to stabilize and align the unitary combination of a piece of holding, edge and flow direction structure 721. A pair of apertures including apertures 725 appear on a single piece of holding, edge and flow direction structure 721 combined together. The holes are used to hold them in place. Since stability is added by the flange 723, the number of apertures required is reduced. A pair of apertures 727 appear on the upper surface 671 of the gravity applicator 701 and align with the apertures 725.

  In FIG. 22, one of the two protrusions 731 extending in the vertical direction is shown on the inner surface of the downward extending portion of the horizontal recess 655 extending in the vertical axis direction.

  FIG. 23 shows a cross-sectional view along line 23-23 of FIG. The water spout assembly is rotated in only one direction and is open. The cover 741 has a water flow hole 743 and is installed so as to be rotatable about the vicinity of the interference projection 745. On one side of the rotation axis of the cover 741, the inner portion of the embedded canopy assembly 703 includes a curved surface 751, and the cover 741 is curved toward the main body portion of the gravity type applicator 701. On the other side of the rotational axis of the cover 741, the inner portion of the embedded canopy assembly 703 includes a stop edge 753, and the stop edge 753 moves the contact portion of the cover 741 toward the gravity applicator 701. To prevent.

  By allowing movement in only one direction, a narrow geometric tolerance is formed and the cover 741 can be easily fixed in the open position. The interference protrusion 745 is used to keep the cover 741 in the open position. It is preferable to mark the cover 741 so as to indicate the moving direction by pressing the cover 741 in the vicinity of the curved surface 751. In addition, the protruding forward portion of the housing of the embedded canopy assembly 703 provides additional protection for the cover 741 when in the open position.

  The flexibility of the sealing material provides a new form of reuse for manufacturers and users. Re-use is encouraged by standardizing containers to maximize container use. Reuse includes cleaning, refilling concentrate and resale. Concentrate container system 505 allows the use of color coding to distinguish different types of concentrates.

  Although the present invention has been described using a simple concentrate delivery method for a diluent dosing system, the principles are applicable to other types of systems.

  Although the present invention has been described in accordance with particular embodiments, many changes and modifications can be readily made without departing from the spirit of the invention. The present invention includes all such modifications and improvements within the spirit of the invention.
